"The Arizona shooting has emboldened pro-gun groups that plan to lobby politicians for proposed laws that could expand the right to carry concealed weapons on the state's college campuses."

"At least two bills are on the table in Arizona, which resumed its legislative session this week. One would allow faculty members to carry concealed weapons on campus. The other would prevent colleges from stopping people with a valid permit, including students, from carrying them on campus." ...

"The Catholic Church's position on gun control is not easy to find; there are dozens of speeches and talks and a few documents that call for much tighter regulation of the global arms trade, but what about private gun ownership?"

"The answer is resoundingly clear: Firearms in the hands of civilians should be strictly limited and eventually completely eliminated." ...

"A group of victims from the Virginia Tech shootings is now pressing for an overhaul of federal gun laws in the wake of the massacre in Tucson. They want to close the 'gun show loophole' and tighten rules on federal background checks before you can buy a firearm. One Republican member of Congress has proposed a law to limit the possession of firearms within 1,000 feet of a government official." ...

"I HAD a teacher in college who used to ask, 'Who discovered America?' He would offer some choices. They were Amerigo Vespucci, Christopher Columbus or the Nina, the Pinta and the Santa Maria."

"The answer he wanted was the three ships with which eventually someone would have discovered the New World and without which everyone would have remained in Spain."

"It is no different with the tragedy in Tucson. Hate speech and madness were part of the mix, but it was the gun and our insane gun laws that resulted in six deaths. Until we come to grips with that, as a nation, we remain armed and dangerous." ...

"Hoboken's Dawn Zimmer and Jersey City's Jeremiah T. Healy were among the throng of mayors from New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania to stand with New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg on Tuesday in the wake of the shootings in Tucson, Arizona last weekend."

"The mayors are all part of the coalition known as Mayors Against Illegal Guns, an organization of which Bloomberg is co-chair that supports second amendment rights, while working to keep guns out of the hands of criminals and the mentally ill." ...-------

Submitter's Note: Showing their true colors to those perceptive enough to see that they don't care whether a gun is 'illegal' or not, they are against any guns.

"During the wall-to-wall coverage of the Arizona spree killing and attempted assasination of a U.S. Congresswoman, a small news blurb was hardly noticed by most of America - Major Richard Winters of 'Band of Brothers' fame died in his rural Pennsylvania home." ...

"When Aaron Zelman, the founder of Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership, died just before Christmas at his home in Wisconsin, eulogies poured in from people Zelman had impacted. One came from Eugene Volokh, who said that Zelman’s 'most notable contribution was research pointing out the frequency with which genocide has been preceded by prohibiting arms possession by the targeted victims.'" ...

"Seatttleites are showing that the Tucson shooting has had a major impact locally, holding a memorial Thursday evening at Westlake Park that did not become a launch pad for some symbolic call for more gun control."

"By no small coincidence, results from two national polls released yesterday say most Americans doubt tougher gun laws would prevent incidents like the Tucson, AZ shooting ..." ...

"You might be seeing a lot of Eric Fuller over the weekend. He’s one of the people injured in Jared Loughner’s shooting rampage, taking rounds in the knee and back. He’s also a vicious bigot, and because he’s elderly and a military veteran, the Left is going to fall in love with him."

"Fuller gave an interview with the Democracy NOW radio show, in which he said of the Tucson shootings: 'It looks like Palin, Beck, Sharron Angle, and the rest got their first target.' Presumably he’s not talking about Judge John Roll." ...

"One of the tragedies of tragedies is that some politicians just can't resist the urge to use them for political gain. The Tucson shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords first inspired liberals to score points against the tea party and is now inspiring a new round of political calls for gun control." ...

"Contrary to Senator Moynihan's proclamation, Slate's William Saletan thinks he's entitled to his own facts. If not his own facts, then his own version of history at any rate. Anti-Second Amendment Saletan dreamed up his own little set of incidents and actions in order to castigate pro-Second Amendment supporters by claiming that something that didn't happen could have happened and that, ipso facto, because it could have the Second Amendment is bad -- all this based on his dreamy little dream of an alternate history." ...

"The first sentence of two lead stories on the front page of Wednesday’s New York Times:"

"'Jared Loughner, his head shaved bare and his feet in restraints, was led into a Phoenix federal courtroom, where he agreed not to contest his continued imprisonment … for the shootings that left six dead and 14 wounded.'"

"'Cheering crowds have gathered in recent days to support the assassin who riddled [a Pakistani] governor with 26 bullets and to praise his attack — carried out in the name of the prophet Muhammad — as an act of heroism.'" ...

"The common thread is that each used an automatic weapon with a cartridge clip that contained more than 30 bullets ..." ...

"Obama, a strong gun control advocate earlier in his political career, noted in his speech at the Tucson memorial service on Wednesday that the shooting had sparked a national conversation on issues including 'the merits of gun safety laws' - but he said nothing of his own views on the matter."

"When he ran for the US Senate in 2004, Obama said it was a 'scandal' that President George W. Bush was allowing the assault weapons ban to expire without pushing for its renewal. And as a presidential candidate, he promised to push to reinstate the ban. After the election he said it would be difficult to do."

"And don't look for any new gun control laws coming out of Capitol Hill in the wake of the Tucson shooting rampage." ...

"'The Second Amendment that guarantees the right to bear arms is part of America’s founding fabric. So is senseless violence brought about by guns also American?' asked Newsweek's Daniel Stone in a January 13 post at the magazine's website."

"Stone noted that his question was inspired by a similar query posed recently by a Russian journalist Andrei Sitov to White House press secretary Robert Gibbs.:" ...

"In the wake of a shooting at Florida school board meeting, and the mass shooting in Arizona that accompanied as assassination attempt against U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, a Delware, Ohio city councilman is says it's time that the statewide ban on concealed carry in public buildings be lifted." ...

"An FBI witch hunt is underway and appears to be targeting political activist groups or individual Americans that criticize a member of Congress. The FBI is on a mission to find Americans that they deem as potential threats to legislature. They are targeting people in their own homes." ...

"John Gunyou, Minnetonka city manager, wants the city to have the right to ban guns from City Hall."

"'We should have absolutely the right to prohibit people from carrying loaded weapons into our building,' he said." ...

"'Our problem is the absurdity that someone can legally walk into our city council chambers with a sidearm on their hip and sit in the front row, and there is nothing we can do about it,' Gunyou said. 'We have a world in which there are unreasonable people.'"-------

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER

America does not go abroad in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She well knows that by one enlisting under other banners than her own, were they even the banners of foreign independence, she would involve herself beyond the power of extrication in all the wars of interest and intrigue, of individual avarice, envy and ambition, which assume the colors and usurp the standards of freedom. — JOHN QUINCY ADAMS (1821)
